[MR] A & S issue

[Phillip Jones]

I respectfully disagree. If I enter a competition and receive zero comments, 
I don't feel judged, I feel ignored. I would not have minded negative 
feedback, but I wanted feedback. I think no comment is outside of expectable 
vagaries of judging.

May I propose a partial solution to this eternal discussion, one that I feel 
strongly about personally?

EVERY Arts and Sciences competition, from canton-level to Pennsic, MUST 
require documentation.  Period.  I see absolutely no reason anyone would 
enter any such competition without proof of that item's validity in some 
form.  What should the documentation include?  SCA groups almost invariably 
have examples of what is required.  Use them.

As for the quality and quantity of judges' remarks, that is another issue 
entirely and one that is universal to all competitions.  If you enter a 
competition of any kind, you must always be aware of and accept the 
vagarities of the judging processes.
